I will send an e-mail to the entire group right about the time the swap starts. When I send this e-mail to everyone I will also notify the group of who the swap assistant is. The Swap Assistant can use this e-mail list to send e-mails to the other members throughout the swap.

I would love to get a reminder e-mail from the Swap Assistant the day the swap starts to ensure I send this e-mail out on time.

The Swap Assistant should send a few reminder e-mails throughout the swap to remind people of the swap deadline. I will update the specific swap page (where everyone joined) as I receive swaps. Please check the swap page to be sure swaps are not late. At one week before the Submission Date, the Swap Assistant should send e-mails to those individuals whose swaps have not yet arrived.

It is normal to receive several e-mails throughout the swap asking various questions about how the swap works. When I send the e-mail to the group informing them of the Swap Assistant, I will ask them to try to direct questions to the Swap Assistant instead of me. This saves me a lot of time. The Swap Assistant should field as many of these questions as possible, directing those they cannot answer back to me.

Please review the Swap Rules so you can better answer any questions swappers may have.
